On the Bus

Chapter 2 The Bus

So I'm all packed up ready for school and then I head out the door to walk to the bus stop like always. "Don't forget your lunch sweetie!" My mom says. "I got it!!" "Okay have fun on your first day, I'll be here when you get home, love you!" My mom also tells me to pay attention in class and all that "mom" stuff and I finally say love you too and head out the door.

I love walking to the bus stop because it's only about 5 minutes away, and it's fun walking through the neighborhood seeing what's going on. Today I saw Mr.Stevens. He's a little old maybe late 60's , but he always talks to me on the way to the bus stop.

I love having conversations with Mr.Stevens. It's like he has magical powers to always know what to say. Once me and my best friend got in this fight because she got tickets to and ED SHEERAN concert (my favorite singer) and didn't bring me even though she had an extra ticket. I think she thought I was talking about her behind her back, but I actually wasn't. Then she didn't talk to me or sit by me the rest of the day. Then she moved to California and never talked to me again.

So when I was walking to my house from the bus stop I went and talked to Mr.Stevens about it. He told me I should talk to her and tell her the truth. That I wasn't talking about her, and to forgive her for not taking me. So I did and then, everything went back to normal.

"Hey Mr.Stevens!" I call out. He was reading the paper on his porch. He put down the paper and said, "Oh Casey!" "First day of school, huh?" "Yes! I'm sure it's going to BORING!" "Haha, it might be, remember to make new friends!" Then we say our goodbyes and he gives me a candy bar to eat at lunch. I give him a quick hug and keep walking.

The bus comes and picks us up. There's a few other kids at my bus stop but they're all 6th graders who look like 1st graders. So I get on the bus and look for Macy. Macy is my best friend, so I always sit with her on the bus. I search and find her in the very back. "Casey!" Macy yells. "Hey!!! Are you ready for the worst day of school ever?" I say rolling my eyes and making a funny face.

We both laugh, because everyone hates the first day of school. Mostly because we don't even do anything it's basically just meet your classmates games and get to know each other games. Which is so awkward, so me and Macy always partner up with each other.

The rest of the bus ride was normal, we talked about the TV shows we watch, what books we are reading, who we think our favorite teachers are gonna be.. Then we get to school.
